@Parth Patel since you're buy and hold it doesn't necessarily apply as much to you, but I wouldn't blindly throw Zestimates out.

I also put shutters in all my windows vs mini blinds and ceiling fans in all rooms.  

That said I did not get in the business blindly, rather a very successful REI guy I know has mentored me and even encouraged me for well over a year before I ever started and I did a lot of research before doing so including trying to make sure that it was legal to wholesale property. 

Possibly using a professional third party vendor for the pre-inspection is a great idea, give a copy to the owner and tenant Excessive holes in walls Broken tiles or fixtures in the property Plumbing backups Repainting where a tenant has repainted from the original color Tears, holes, stains or burn marks in carpets Missing or damaged blinds Broken windows and window screens Broken doors and locks Broken or damaged appliances Excessively Dirty Pest control if you see Bugs and or fleasJunk or trash left behind Past Due rent Fees incurred from fines from the association due to the tenants conduct or lack thereof Water damage to hardwood floors Missing outlet covers Remotes for garage or gate if not returned Rekey of locks if tenants did not return the keys Unpaid utilities, as long as they were part of the lease agreement Undoing a tenant alteration This is a sample of things that are usually considered to be normal wear-and-tear and should not be deducted from a security deposit: Slab or plumbing leak Normal rug wear.

In addition I'm pretty color blind so if I pick out the color it's most definitely going to be white! 

I deducted about $30 from their deposit to cover a few cheap window blinds that were broken (even though I replaced all of them) because the honestly rest was all normal wear and tear.

Don't get me wrong I put in a blind offer once like I always do, first I do tons of research, and found a home listed at $5,500.

The service provided by a team like New Western is quite extensive when you look at the amount of work that is put into providing "ready to go" deals that require a simple yes or no, rather than multiple offers or bidding blindly with a distant listing agent...."

Here is a brief list of the planned renovations:Kitchen-Granite Countertops-Cabinets-Tile back splash-Kitchen Sink and faucet-Kitchen lighting-Stainless Steel appliancesBathroom-Vanity/sink/faucet-Shower head-Bathroom lighting-MirrorCommon areas-New front door-New interior doors-Blinds/Curtains-Wooden Laminate/VinylI have a decent amount of my own money I can use after the down-payment and closing fees.

For instance, if a contractor wants to charge me $150 for a toilet I know I can get for $90 or 6k for cabinets I can get for 4k, there's no way I can blindly accept being overcharged for something I know doesn't cost that much.
